To quote the GotG movie: "What a bunch of A-holes..."

LOVE the old school Ork specialists! That Free booster capt is perfect!

This is my current Stargrave crew. Still work in progress, but thought these mugshots would be fun.

What a bunch of backholes!



To paraphrase GoTG.


Edit: Ninja'd!

I'm completely new to Stargrave and the rulebook and boxes are stil on order.

That didn't stop me from assembling a crew from the huge collection of minis I have though



Meet captain Esteban Navarra. He's the sixth son of an agri-world baron and from a young age it was clear that he wouldn't amount to much. After some incidents involving the local brothel it was agrees that Esteban should be off-planet as soon as possible. His father gave him a small starship and a large sum of credits and kindly asked him never to return. Out in space Esteban really came into his own and quickly assembled a loyal crew around him. Being an aristo he doesn't like to do the dirty work, or the clean work for that matter so he usually stays on board the ship while the crew takes on missions.

Next to Esteban you can see his first mate Raoul. Raoul is a a tough one and so are the cronies he brings along. Underhive scum from his homeworld of Jithara. Especially fearsome are the Lehman brothers that can be seen in the back. These giants in heavy armour were born a bit lacking in the brains department, but they more than make up for that with their strength.

Seen all the way in the background are some alien runners that were picked up on a desert planet and given rifles. Their usefulness remains to be seen.


I've also dug up some old Delaque gangers that would wither make a nice crew or serve as randos to fight:

Love the skinks with guns will they shoot them? Eat them? Or just hit stuff with them? Let’s find out

I played my first game of Stargrave yesterday and we had a blast.

The rules were pretty simply and quite clear to follow.
I had a good WH40k 4th edition vibe with grenades scattering all over the place and a guy machinegunning his own first mate who was in close combat.

I also like the use of a d20 instead of regular d6s.

We didn't use the captain powers yet, to keep it simple for a first game, but we'll be using these next time.

All in all it was a great experience after the recent rules-bloated, unbalanced 40k games I had.

I can really recommend checking out Stargrave!

Northstar Pirate Captain, Northstar Hacker, and 3d printed Piscean Chisler (a bioengineered human for aquatic environments).

The pirate captain I've named Grand Admiral Graf Lothar Wolfgang Helmuth Anton von Rechberg und Rothenlöwen. While his tactical and strategic skills suggest some military training, most people doubt his claim to be a Grand Admiral as well as his noble lineage. However, with both Earth and Neues Deutschland radioactive wastelands, his claims cannot be verified or disproven. Questioning either claim in his presence is unwise as he has a violent temper and a sadistic streak.

The leather jacket and boots of the hacker is Army Painter Speedpaint Hardened Leather. I like how it works, but the color is too light for my taste. I'm now experimenting with different light browns as an undercoat.

My team with their ship

Nice!

Lensman ship?

I wouldn’t buy a used air car from any of ‘em… nice work

Yes!

This thread is awesome. I'm loving all the kitbashed / anysourced crews. And the Squig photo was hilarious.

Keep 'em coming!

Note to self: Never post "Keep 'em coming!" It's a thread killer.

The two not-AdMech figures are from Wargames Exclusive, purchased two years prior to the Ukraine war. The cyberpunk next to them is from the boardgame HINT: Be A Better Human. The Inquisitor will be a Robotics Expert Captain. The Sister Repentia will be a Striker, a close combat expert whose rules are found in The Last Prospector.


From left to right. Warlord Games East Meg Agent, Warlord Games Oola Blint, and Northstar Crew II built as a Chisler. The Warlord games figures are from Denizens of Mega City One for the Judge Dredd game. Oola Blint (under a different name) will be the Aristocrat Captain of the Song of Sappho, a ship of all female bounty hunters for playing solo Stargrave. The Chisler next to her will be part of the crew. Not sure if the East Meg Agent will be part of the crew, but I like the mini, and she and Oola were what made me buy the set. Mind, the other figures aren't bad, and they've been primed.
The Chisler's overall are painted with Speedpaint Magic Blue. I really like the color.


The Northstar figures should be familiar to all those who backed the Stargrave Nickstarter. The center figure is an Urban Mammoth Cyborg. That company is now defunct. At the moment, these figures are not part of any crew, although I have sketched out a crew led by a close combat Mystic.

Subbed for future reference.
I just ordered the rulebook; it's gonna be great to have complete free rein on a modelling project after doing so much 40K and making units fit with 'no model no rules' datasheets.

My first crew; can't recommend Imitation of Life minis highly enough.

Looking forward to my first game as well.

What a characterful bunch of renegades!

Thanks for sharing

Good timing for this thread reappearing - I finished my first crew yesterday!
These guys are the crew of the Fisher King



@PaddyMick - Absolutely amazing! They remind me of the sewer mutants from Futurama. Great skin tones, and I like their freehand banner. I can't decide if my favourite is the unfortunate fella with the face-leg, the man with his face stretched ?over a gasmask or the gent with the tentacles who I imagine is the boss. Do you have a backstory in mind for them?
I'd never heard of IoL minis, but I'm checking them out now.

Cheers @ IGtR

@Scarper looking good mate, they actually look like a crew, like they could crew a starship and each have a job; I just chose the 10 coolest minis I could find Not sure who's captain yet, might buy another model or two. They are all mutants from the underclass of a industrial colony with very lax workplace health and safety and little in the way of atmosphere. Draughted when the last war got desperate, killed their officers and took off. The face stretch guy is growing potatoes for hair which he uses for ammo in his gun....

I love how you can do whatever you like in this game

I love the variety in their poses and outfits here, it feels very rag-tag and I think you did a really good job.

I've been working on my new crew the Agiera Interplanetary Mining Corp and once i'm allowed to post pictures i'll edit this post and show you

Laying down basecoats on my new crew.

A Deep Rock crew has been in the back of my mind for this game as well for a while now, good to know the options are out there should I get a printer at some point.

Still reading up on my options, got the latest book in yesterday, really tempted to raid the boxes of shame and scrounge together an odd-ball crew of my own for coop games now.
